Can You Really Have Multiple Orgasms?

You might be ready to tap-out after round one tonight, but new research has found sticking it out could win you a prize worth waiting for: multiple orgasms.

New research conducted by US sexual health doctors Dr David Delvin and Dr Christine Webber, found that seven out of ten women can come multiple times in one session.

Out of the 1,250 females, they found 2% climaxed up to 20 times in one session alone. Known as the “super orgasm”, it’s linked to higher levels of oxytocin – the love hormone which enables people to bond with a partner.

Similarly, a study by the Indiana University School of Public Health found 47% of women surveyed have multiple orgasms, and interestingly, the majority of them use different techniques after the first to achieve the next.

The study suggests that many women who believe that they or their partners aren't able to have multiple orgasms feel that their genitals are too sensitive after the first one for further stimulation — but they may in fact be able to have more than one orgasm if they use moves that are slower, less direct, and less forceful.

And with today marking Sexual Happiness Day (coined by pleasure products store Lovehoney, but still) the prospect of multiple orgasms isn’t the only enticement to jump between the sheets.

“There are a number of benefits to having a happy sex life,” says international sex and relationships expert Tracey Cox. “Studies have shown that those who engage in regular sex live longer, have lower blood pressure and less stress, and can even look younger.”

Here, some GP approved reasons to get it on this weekend.

It can make you look younger

Sex boosts the levels of a human's anti-ageing hormone DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) – a key factor in keeping us young. After orgasm, levels of DHEA in the blood rise to five times the normal level. A study found that couples in their sixties still having regular sex looked between five and seven years younger than those no longer having sex.

It protects against colds

Having sex once or twice a week raises the level of immunoglobulins (IgA) in the body, increasing protection against colds and flu. Research by Wilkes-Barre University in Pennsylvania found couples that have regular sex have 30% higher levels of IgA than abstainers.

It keeps you slim

Sex can keep you fit. A weekly 20 minute quickie adds up to 31,000kJ annually – as much as the average person would burn jogging 120km. What’s more, one sex session can burn about 830kJ, which equates to running for 15 minutes on a treadmill.

It can help with pre-menstrual pain

The muscle contraction that occurs during arousal releases tension in the muscles of the uterus, which are responsible for menstrual pain. It has also been reported that women who regularly have sex also have more regular periods. Sex contributes to more balanced hormone levels, including those that regulate the monthly cycle.

It’s a natural anti-depressant

Sex increases the heart rate and stimulates the brain to release more serotonin, the happiness hormone, a key anti-depressant and the main reason to smile after sex.

It's good for your skin

Scientists have found the faster blood flow during sex increases the level of oxygen in the body, which boosts the levels of nutrients that replenish skin. Sweating while having sex also helps cleanse your pores, making the skin brighter and decreasing the risk of developing dermatitis.

It guarantees a good night's sleep

Oxytocin, which both the male and female body produces at orgasm, helps with insomnia. It's the reason why so many fellas fall asleep as soon as they have climaxed.
